    WTS Womens Crispi Briksdal GTX size 11

    I have a gently used pair of women's Crispi Briksdal gtx boots. Womens Size 11. They say they would fit a men's size 9.5 but not entirely sure on that. Great shape, lots of life. Retail for $415 on Black Ovis. I'll sell them for $245 tyd obo. You will need a pair of laces for them. One little...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    So if your old man buys you a pair of $200 pants and gives them to you for Christmas, and on the second trip out the crotch blows out rendering them useless.....you're going to tell your old man that shit happens and thank him for throwing his hard earned $200 down the toilet.....copy that, to...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    If you spent $200 on a pair and they ripped out on you I would be willing to bet you sing a different tune. That's the point of the thread. Their website is littered with reviews similar to mine where they did nothing for the customer. If you like First Lite great, I'm just giving a heads up...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    Man I've been keeping my eye on that. -20 with wind, snow, blizzard! Let me know how the Incinerator line works. That might be my next purchase! When we were there it was below 0 at night and never got above 20 in the day with a breeze, and ice coated tree stands. Had me rethinking my sanity...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    I guess that attitude is my issue. I believe you are spot on with their arrogance and demeanor. They apparently haven't owned the issues that are being reviewed and vocalized. Instead of thinking the issue is ridiculous a quality/premium company would look at what the issue is and fix it. FS...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    Let's make sure we are clear. These were NEW old stock with tags this past August. Second trip out in them the crotch blew out. I don't plan to use a pair of pants with a hole in the crotch going forward, so yes I guess they are garbage. I wasn't expecting a brand new pair. Maybe an offer to...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    I believe they are still complaining because 7 years ago they had issues, and people are still experiencing the same issues today after FL has supposedly fixed the problem. Numerous recent reviews on FL's own website confirming this as well as experiences here. I will say I was not expecting...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    Absolutely. I'll gladly provide the details and insight here just as I relayed to Fran in customer service at FL. These pants were a gift to me from my Grandmother who has passed away. When I received the pants they were new pants with tags this past August. I wore them on two elk hunts in...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    Wrangler flex pants aren't denim jeans. A $200 pair of marketed "hunting" pants should last more than a couple trips to the elk woods imo.

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    If I would have wrestled a grizz and he tried to eat my crotch it would be a different story. These just literally fell apart with light use. Sounds like a lot of the same story with First Lite gear. To your point they did nothing to try to retain me or even own that the Obsidian pants are...

    First Lite Customer Service = GARBAGE

    Long story short, and knowing First Lite is a sponsor here I hope this doesn't offend anyone. I was gifted a pair of Obsisdian merino pants which retail for $180 with tax close to $200 pants. After a couple minimal uses this past fall I was sitting on an elk wallow. I felt a breeze coming into...

    Shoulder mount to euro?

    It can be done just like you said with a dowel and epoxy. The tricky part is getting the width, and antlers set right. Drilling the holes so the antler sits correct is crucial. You could have a 40" bull, but if not set correct it could be a 35" or 45" bull. Someone that has done it before would...

    Bowtech/Elite review?

    I have shot Kures and Rituals, I'm back to my Synergy. The Omnia may get a look in a couple years when they are old and cheaper.

    Hunting partners…Finding new ones, losing old ones.

    Hopefully my boy continues to have interest. I've hunted with my Dad 99% of the time over the last 35 years.

    Struggling to find western hunting partners

    I prefer to hunt solo most of the time. My Dad and I hunt together 90% of the time. He just turned 68 and still going strong, my boy is 7 and showing interest. With that said there is something about occasionally being completely alone hunting how I want to hunt.

    What % of your daughters hunt???

    I agree with you. They love to turkey hunt. Heated blind with a bag full of snacks can buy me an hour or two.

    Elk vs. Mule Deer

    Both are a ton of fun, but putting an arrow in a bugling bull can't be beat imo
